Speed Camera Updates ?

[Monty205]

A query for those of you who may be more up to speed with the Go Live 1005 than I am.

The Speed Camera Updates ?

I only require the UK, France and Spain data, so I uninstalled all the others, and a long drawn out process it was too.

However, when the regular batch of updates is offered, the ‘Tick-Box’ against Speed camera Updates is not ticked.

Does this mean that there are no updates for the speed cameras, or that only those country’s that remain installed will be updated, or non of the above ?

So, I accept all the other updates and run the update process, but, on completion, I have no way of knowing if the UK, France and Spain speed camera data has been updated ?

Now, if I put a tick in the Speed Camera Tick-Box, and run the update process then all the cameras that I previously laboriously uninstalled, re-install themselves.

I appreciate that this is not really any sort of big deal, but once again it illustrates how poorly ‘thought out’ the software used by this expensive gizmo really is.

Obviously, I can just leave the countries that I no longer need installed and ignore them, as long as the ones I do need are updated, but it would be nice to know what’s going on under the hood, so to speak.

When you click on the 'speed cameras'. does it not then list all the countries available and then you can check only the desired ones? Or, perhaps, a link for 'details' to do the same thing?

OK, ....... next time that the speed camera updates are offered I will check that out, but first I will have to laboriously uninstall all the options that I do not need, one more time.

On thinking a little further on the issue, surely, if a particular country is uninstalled, this TomTom software is clever enough to realise that it need not download updates for those countries, ........................... then again maybe not, eh ?

Why, is your device memory running out of space?

You'll be offered everything that you have due you each time updates become available. Just how it works.

Am curious, like Arno, to know why you're bothering. Not a ton of data even if you pick up the whole lot rather than working with bits and pieces. Memory low?

 

[Monty205]

No problem with memory capacity chaps, I just wondered why the offer to uninstall certain speed cameras is there at all ?

Being a curious beggar I just decided to see what happened if I uninstalled the ones I did not need,

Now I know. They all reinstall themselves, as it is not possible to selectively update them.

So, ............... if somebody does have a memory capacity issue, and uninstalls some of the cameras, when they get a camera update, their memory capacity is compromised,................ this soft ware is not very clever is it, .............. or am I missing something ?

Monty, I edited out the link you provided in your address. If you wish to advertise or promote here, you need to contact the administrator.

No problem, it was just a link to my YouTube Channel, on which I upload my own 'creative' musical offerings, most of which are my own versions of old 50s and 60s stuff, ................ some even older, although there are a couple of my own compositions, so nobody is going to miss much !

This activity takes my mind off the amount of money it is taking to keep my Ducato based motorhome on the road.
